Perry is going on the air

Governor Rick Perry has his first TV ad buy up. The AP:

The ad will debut just hours after Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn announces whether she will challenge Perry in the March Republican primary or run for the office as an independent.

Either way, she's sure to criticize Perry, as she has been doing for months

The governor will try to blunt those barbs by touting job creation, lawsuit reform, and increasing public school standards in the commercial, which opens with a field of bluebonnets, a mountainscape and a cattle drive before panning to Perry on the porch of the Governor's Mansion.

"Our people are compassionate, our visions bold, our values strong. The best is yet to come," Perry says in the ad, which also will run during Wednesday's Rose Bowl, when Texas will take on Southern California for the college football national championship. "I'm proud of Texas. How 'bout you?"

Kinda reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's 84 re-elect: It's Morning in America.
